This means that the reading status and collections for sideloaded books is lost. The configuration file is also reset during this process.

For the collections, unless you are using calibre, there is no easy way to get them back for sideloaded books.
Wow - that's interesting. I wouldn't have signed out if I knew this was the case. I am using Calibre for mgmt purposes but there's the database issue with Calibre not being updated yet to communicate with this latest firmware version. So...live and learn. No huge deal with the sideloaded epubs not on their shelves. I think I can live with that.
